The Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-RX100 has the tools to make short work of your low-light challenges

Meanwhile, at the county fair

I don't know if you've ever seen 10 Jack Russell terriers in full sprint. In county fair season around our Crutchfield HQ region, you can sometimes witness them racing around hay bales for fun and prizes. They're so fast that unless you're looking hard they'll be streaky blurs in front of your eyes.

So what does this have to do with the Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-RX100? Well, once upon a time I tried to take pictures of an event like this with a typical point-and-shoot. Predictably, I documented streaky blurs. If I'd had the high-speed autofocusing DSC-RX100 in my shirt pocket that day I'd have taken home high-resolution, 10 frames-per-second continuous action shots that would have brought home the pure fun and excitement of a classic American summer moment.

Best in show

The RX100 is a rare breed. It's got the convenience of a point-and-shoot for sure. But it's got features that you don't normally see in a camera this compact. The biggest eye-opener is a 1" Exmor CMOS sensor, which is almost two and a third times as large as most of the other sensors in the compact camera class. In combination with its light-sensitive Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar T* f/1.8 - 4.9 lens, this camera is capable of taking vibrant, detailed pictures and video that will rival what you'd expect from a bigger, more expensive DSLR rig. Even in low light.

A control ring and a top-mounted mode-selector wheel lead off the DSLR-like control features on the RX100

It's all in the details

The lens has a 3.6X zoom range, so you don't have to be right next to your subject to get the framing you'd like. A control ring on the lens gives you access to intuitive manual adjustments. 1080/60p videos and 20.2-megapixel stills enjoy the benefits of DSLR-like program, aperture-priority, shutter-priority, and full manual modes (P/A/S/M). Plus, unlike most other cameras in its class, the RX100 will capture still shots in RAW mode, so you have extra information with which to pull the best possible image from your files.

Ready in moments

Tech features aside, you'll enjoy the pure spontaneous experience of having this camera available 24/7. As mentioned before, it fits in a jacket pocket. The ultra-high, 1229k-dot resolution WhiteMagic LCD display is specifically designed to be viewable in bright daylight. And the aluminum body is sleek, easy to handle, and tough.

Supplied Accessories:

rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-BX1)

Sony rx100

Great camera for a small size. Very quality photos indoors/outdoors. Quality goes down as you use zoom, but that's expected I ordered the scratched/dent option, but mine had a scratch on the lcd display. I only expected scratches on the body.

Pros:- Big sensor packed in a small camera
- Very good quality photos

Cons:- Once you start using the zoom, photo quality goes down
- LCD was scratched

Sony and Apple not playing nice

Written By Kenny, Long Island,NY on Thursday, December 26, 2013

Can't transfer movies from camera to Mac or Ipad. Crutchfield support tells me it's a software compatibility issue and there is a workaround if I jump thru some hoops, but that's a deal breaker for me. Usual good customer support from Crutchfield-efficient and quick .

Best pocket camera period

Best pocket camera period. Used it to take more than 1000+ pictures on my recent 10 day trip to Spain. Shot all kinds of pictures including daytime, night time, indoor (good and low light), macro (food) and the shots were all amazing. Buy this camera now!

Pros:Perfect everything. Most amazing for me was the accurate and super fast focus. Unreal camera!

Cons:Absolutely none in terms of features and performance. The sheer number of options can definitely be overwhelming though :)

Powerful package for its size

The quality of this camera for its size just can't be beat. I'm an experienced DSLR shooter and I am completely satisfied with carrying this around as an alternate when I just don't want to lug around the big cameras. The image quality is fantastic and it handles poor lighting almost as well as a current generation APS-C size sensor in a DSLR. There is a bit of noise and smudging from the noise-reduction in ISO 3200 and above, but surprisingly it is handled really really well.

The menus and the ui is intuitive and well laid out. I come from a Nikon ecosystem and had no problem adapting to the Sony menus and buttons. The manual controls are quick to access let you make fast adjustments.

The battery life is about what you would expect from a point and shoot. I wish it was better, but oh well.

The screen is bright and has worked well even in daylight. I was worried about not having a viewfinder, but so far composing on the screen has been fine.

The lens is fast when at 28mm (equivalent), but stops down pretty fast when you zoom. There just probably wasn't room in the lens to keep the aperture open wide at zooms unfortunately.

Pros:Amazing image quality. Very small size. Manual controls are intuitive and quick to access.

An amazing little camera

This is an amazing little camera. The CMOS sensor low light capability blows away everything else I've considered. The" watercolor" effect on this camera is astounding - I use it a lot. Others have said that the camera is difficult to hold, and that a special add-on grip is needed. I found an inexpensive third party camera case solves this problem.

Pros:Low light capability, resolution, watercolor effect

Cons:Price, location of the pop-up flash, lack of a coherent manual is a real problem, but I got great a third party Kindle download manual that has been great. Without it , I'm afraid that you are LOST.

Review of Sony RX100

"Know your tools" This camera has a wide range of capabilities. A novice can use it and a Pro can also use the camera in different modes and obtain superb images. The difference is in understanding the challenges the photographer faces in creating a powerful image. This translates knowing which controls to use to get the desired results. The Sony RX100 has a very complex interface, or it seems to have until you have your first epiphany! Then the "work flow" of shooting with this camera suddenly pops from confusion to clarity.

The Carl Zeiss f1.8 lens is extraordinary: sharpness that is hard to believe. the sensor is huge for a pocket sized camera and the Camera works very well in low-light situations. You may even get better landscapes than you have ever created before when using the controls built into this small but precise instrument. I like the camera's small size for candid shots. I suppose it seems antithetical but I do confess to placing the Sony RX100 on a small tripod for low light and night photography.

Cons: Price seems high until you use the camera then you realize what you have paid for. I too would like to have had a viewfinder. I would have been even happier had they rid the camera of the pop-up flash and installed a hot shoe instead. This would allow using radio remotes for triggering the shutter for long exposures without using the self-timer. Also a hot shoe would allow the use of variety of dedicated flash units. Be sure to purchase a separate stand-alone battery charger and a one sp

quick shutter, great focus options, relatively easy to see outdoors

Written By ann, Charlottesville, VA on Monday, May 20, 2013

I was worried about lack of viewfinder when in bright outside light but I could see fine if I took off my sunglasses. I wish it came with a separate battery charger so you could swap charged batteries. You can buy separately. I found, however, that battery lasted longer than advertised. Did fine with auto settings but I plan on learning more about the manual settings.

Best point & shoot ever

Having owned a number of point & shoot cameras in the past before I went the DSLR route, I am still able to pull up pictures from those cameras and be quite satisfied. As the ridiculous megapixel war raged on, the image quality kept getting worse and worse. Even though I haven't shot with one in years, I do keep up on all the news and, more importantly, all the image samples from testing sites. Nothing has been impressive whatsoever. That is, until I started seeing samples from the RX100. I had a Sony Nex-5n for about 6 months and 8,000 shots, and while I mostly liked the camera, the lenses really don't do the sensor any justice. I decided to try the RX100 as a portable all-in-one for my better half & so far she really likes it. I can say the image quality is quite amazing for such a dense little sensor, yet when the going gets tough, there is more than enough leeway to reduce the size of images, which often reduces most of the grain, mush and noise (especially at high ISO).

Pros:Small, very portable, solid build, great image quality, better dynamic range than I've seen on any previous point & shoot camera. Able to set the highest acceptable ISO & the multi-shot night mode are my favorite features.

Cons:Auto portrait produces horrible results-turned it off. Some of the scene modes, while seemingly intuitive, won't produce the desired result.

DCS-RX100

Initially, I wanted to give this camera a 4-star rating but I had to give it 5 stars because I purchased it after having read many professional and purchaser reviews and it is what it is - a high quality pocket camera that takes great photos and excellent movies. That said, after taking over 150 photos and movies in the past 2 weeks, I can see where the smooth body might be a problem securely gripping the camera with sweaty hands in the summer heat. It was my experience that the flash is too intense at close range but that can be pleasantly negated by mastering the fine art of tilting the flash to bounce it off a surface above or below the subject. I did accidently completely drain the battery by leaving it plugged into my computer's USB port when in the USB mode. One word of caution - do not misplace the USB cable as the camera end is not a standard mini-USB connector and charging or downloading could be a problem (wouldn't life be great if USB cables were all the same?).

This is not a camera for the casual point and shoot user that doesn't want to take the time to study the menu and learn how to set up the Function and Memory features. Sure, it will take good pictures in one of the Auto Modes but if you're going to shoot in Auto most of the time then I would argue to save your money and consider one of the many other fine point and shoot cameras. But if you want creativity, quality photos and video, all from a camera that you can always have with you then consider this.

Pros:Excellent videos but may require use of Active Steady Shot moving in rough terrain with slight loss of quality. Great panoramic photos. Wonderful portraits and mid to close range photos. 42 mm Mag Filter circular polarizing filters available. Very compact.

Cons:Limited zoom but photos crops well. Small size could be a problem for big hands - get in habit of using wrist strap. Menu could be better organized but mostly negated by customizing Memory feature and Function button. Lense ring is very slow - use rear dial instead. USB charging cable not standard.

Excellent pocket sized camera!

This camera takes impressive photos...and fits easily into your jacket pocket. Also, the shutter speed seems faster then my Nikon D5000. Overall, it takes amazing photos but I still need to learn how to use all the functions on the camera b/c it does everything the DSLR ones do....Thanks again Crutchfield!!

Pros:Image Quality, Fast shutter speed, Pocketable

Cons:Location of the flash is annoying! (left top side where your finger usually is on a Point-and-shoot)

Sony RX100

Written By bpc, Rochester NY on Thursday, December 20, 2012

The Sony RX100 is a solid (metal body) but small (really pocketable) point-and-shoot looking camera. With a 1"-in-diagonal and 20 Mp sensor it beats all its competitors in terms of image quality. I have printed 17"x22" prints that can compete with 4/3 or DSLR-made images in everything but the very tip of the 4 corners. It provides all the choices that an exacting amateur or a pro may expect from a P&S in this price range. Video quality is excellent and it includes the same "sweeping-panorama" function as the NEX generation (more successful than Fuji in doing so). Except for its price, but quality has a price, it is a dream camera. [I dreamt it, Sony made it! ;o) ]

Xlnt little camera

Wow. Really like it. I used and returned the Panasonic LX7 as picture quality fell short of my 5 year old Canon S90 - IMHO. This camera takes excellent photos. As an amateur that's all I need. People do reviews about every little detail on the camera. Heres the sum: IT IS SMALL - IT TAKES EXCELLENT PHOTOS! end of story.

RX100 short term

- much better than anything else - in this catagory - it could seriously use more intruction/user/function manual -LCD is about the best i've seen in sunlight -- would like it to be better - support software is lacking, software for video editing is non functioning - for the price a much much better manual (pdf) could be expected and software support for video is very very poor

Persistent smudge on images - returning

Beautiful images, compact form, good battery life. A zillion settings and options it will no doubt take me a long time to figure out, will stick with the basics for now and those 2 or 3 shooting modes I use most frequently.

Theroblem is that on every single photo, there's a smudge that shows up in the exact same spot. I've carefully cleaned the lens but the smudge remains, it must be in the inner optics or an issue with dust on the sensor, or something else in the bowels of the camera.

I would otherwise give this camera a solid 4 stars (maybe even 5?)...

I like this camera so much I'm sending it back to Crutchfield for a replacement, not a refund. Hopefully #2 will be free from this annoying defect.

Pros:Small, lightweight, good battery life, stellar photos

Cons:Defect causes smudge on same spot of every photo, flash seems fragile

Everything a point and shoot should be!

Super fast and super discreet with super image quality! It has everything you need from a point and shoot and lots of stuff I wish my d700 had. I'm comfortable using iso 1600 at the drop of a hat. That's just about how I felt about my dslrs from just a couple of years ago. It focuses smarter than anything else I've seen, with its freakishly good face recognition and tracking focus. If you like to pretend it's a dslr or rangefinder, you will find it odd; too techy feeling, not Leica-like, etc. I personally find this camera so refreshing. I can stick it on a tiny tripod and do other serious stuff with it without attracting any attention. I can also snap away like it's a cell phone camera anytime anywhere.

Pros:Pocket sized, quiet, fast.

Cons:Screen isn't great in the brightest light, but you can still frame with it. Sony doesn't make a 100 dollar underwater case like canon does for their point and shoots. 1/2000 max shutter speed is a bit of a let down.

areas:

Multi AF: The camera focuses in all ranges of the
finder frame automatically. When you press the shutter button halfway, a
green frame is displayed around the area that is in focus.

Center AF: The camera focuses on a subject in the center of the
frame. By pressing the shutter release halfway, you can lock the focus on
your subject and recompose your shot with the subject off center.

Flexible Spot AF: The camera focuses on a very small area
that can be moved around the frame to the desired point on the screen.

Tracking Focus: If you are trying to photograph a moving
subject, you can use the tracking focus feature to keep the subject in focus as
it moves around the frame. If Face Detection and tracking focus are used at the
same time, the camera will track a selected face if it is registered with the
camera.

AF Illuminator: The AF (auto
focus) Illuminator briefly provides fill light to focus more easily on a subject
in dark surroundings. You can set the AF Illuminator to Auto or Off.

Face Detection: Face Detection technology detects up to
eight individual faces and controls flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to
deliver accurate, natural skin tones with reduced red-eye. It can also give
priority to children or adults. You can also select and register an individual's
face to be given priority.

-3.0EV in 1/3 stop increments.

Built-In Flash: The camera's built-in flash
features a range of 11-3/4"
to 56' 1-3/4" with the zoom set
to wide and 1' 9-1/2" to 20' 8" with the zoom set to telephoto. The flash
settings include:

Autoflash: the flash automatically strobes when the surroundings are
dark or when there is backlight

Fill Flash: the flash strobes with every shot

Slow Sync: the flash is used regardless of the amount of
ambient light, but the shutter speed is slower under dark conditions,
allowing you to clearly shoot a background that is out of the flash-lit
area

Rear Sync: the flash operates before exposure is
completed every time your trigger the shutter

Off: the flash does not operate

Red-eye Reduction: The flash pre-strobes before shooting to
reduce the red-eye phenomenon. You can set to Auto (when Face Detection is
activated), On, or Off.

Metering Modes: You can select Spot, Center-weighted, or Multi-pattern Metering. Spot metering lets you adjust the
exposure to the subject, even when the subject is a backlit or when there is
strong contrast between the subject and the background. Center-weighted metering
measures the center of the image and determines the exposure based on the
brightness of the subject. When multi-pattern metering is used, the image is
divided into multiple regions and metering is performed in each region. The
camera judges the subject position and background brightness, and determines a
well-balanced exposure.

White Balance: When the white balance is set to auto, the
white balance is set automatically in response to the condition of the subject,
and the overall color balance is adjusted. When shooting under special lighting
conditions, you can select the settings manually. When using flash, you can

Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Incandescent, Fluorescent (warm white), Fluorescent (cool white), Fluorescent (day white),
Fluorescent (daylight), Color Temperature/Filter, Custom
(adjust white balance depending on the light source) or Custom Set (memorizes
the basic white color which will be used).

Grid Lines: The cameras
on-screen grid lines make it easy to set a subject's horizontal and vertical
position. You can choose from three grid line overlays: Rule of 3rds, Square,
and Diagonal + Square.

Histogram: A histogram is a graph showing the brightness of an image.
The graph display indicates a bright image when skewed to the right side, and a
dark image when skewed to the left side.

In-camera Guide: An
on-screen function guide text/icon display makes it easy to learn the camera
functions that give you greater creative freedom to adjust photo settings. The
function guide can be turned on or off as desired.

Strap: The camera includes a wrist strap and two adapters
that allow you to attach an optional shoulder strap.

Bright lens, big sensor, and fits in your pocket

I've been blown away by the RX100. As a photo nut, it ticks all the right boxes  fast lens, shoots RAW, big sensor, manual controls. And it has perhaps the best implementation yet of my favorite digital camera feature: sweep panorama (where you hold down the shutter button and sweep the camera from side to side).

The RX100 is made of metal, which gives it a solid feel without being cumbersome. It's a true pocket camera, too, meaning it'll fit in your blue jeans. Thankfully, there is no lens cap for you to lose. My one quibble is that the camera's smooth metal finish makes getting a proper grip a minor challenge  I'd recommend Richard Franiec's add-on grip.

Sony packs a 1" (diagonal) sensor inside, much bigger than those found on most other point & shoot cameras. That helps keep noise to a minimum as the sensitivity rises. I've come away impressed with the amount of detail captured by the RX100, and never thought once about leaving it home since it'll fit into any spare pocket. Highly recommended.
